    I'm sure the server is curious what people do to make money now after all the recent price/1.3 changes.

    I'm talking about a "consistent" main source of money.

    But nevertheless, I'm one of a few proud players to make a profit from the lottery.

    I made 1.2 million ecodollars in the lottery before. Had I been less stupid and thought a bit more about how I played it from there, I could have continued making profit. Sadly, I was still learning and wasn't quite ready yet.
    However, with my current knowledge of lottery and the best ways to play it + a bit of math and everything, I know it is likely entirely possible to make a steady profit off of it without loss of money. (Unless of course you had an opponent who knew as much as you or more and/or had absolutely terrible luck one day. It would be a fairly steady profit except in very rare cases.)
    I guess nobody has managed to do that yet though, so I see no reason to add it as an option.

    I should get back to making that lottery guide I was gonna make...

    Edit: I should also mention that you should not be fooled by my failed attempts at playing lottery. I know how to play it, I just do not have what is required to own it completely. I have not enough money to out snipe people. :p

    Lottery, hmmmm.... On average you will lose money in the lottery. You may win big here and there. But, over time the lottery is just a money sink. I hope I don't get in trouble for pointing that out. Most people won't believe me anyway. That is what I get for having a degree in mathematics. :ugeek:

    If you can build, then real estate is probably the most interesting way of making money imo. It's basically how I get all of mine.

    Yes, you are "right". However, I have discovered a few things about lottery that are a little... Abnormal. I've spent my time analyzing the lottery and I now am 90% sure that there is a slight, minor error in it's random winner generator thingy. Because of this, there are a few rare times when I can just tell someone will win, almost regardless of how many tickets they have. At that point they could have a "10% chance" of winning but that could actually skyrocket to about 40-50%, thus, giving them tons of money while they put in very little. This actually explains why in the past, we'd have users winning like crazy whereas now that we have more users, sniping almost feels pointless because you seemingly lose more often than you should.

    I'd also go into detail about the other stuff that makes it possible to only profit from, but that would completely give away my later strategy. Let's just say... You need a lot of money... I'll leave it at that.

    I would definitely add another option which is "Don't make money" that is what i would have to select.

    Not as good as me - I once sniped 76k and won 1.2 mil. :p (That had nothing to do with the earlier "glitch" I mentioned either. lol.)

    But the absolute best win I've ever heard of so far is putting in one ticket and winning 1.1 million or so. That's absolutely insane.
